Arbequina olive trees typically flower from March to May, ripen in November and are wind-pollinated and self-fertile. This means they do not need additional plants to produce olives. However, having additional olive trees nearby will increase your olive production.
​
Fruit production usually starts between 2-4 years. At maturity they can grow between 15-20 feet in height with an 8-12 foot spread. Harvesting your Arbequina olive tree is best between September and December, depending on the local climate.
​
Known mostly for producing olive oil, Arbequina are also great to eat alone or paired with a tangy cheese, dried figs, pears or almonds.
